Problems with this section; for Frank (Agnosticism)

I disagree completely that only a few people are telepathic. I think it's in the very nature of complex nervous systems. I think you're talking about conscious telepathy. That indeed may be extremely rare, if it exists at all. I'm talking about unconscious telepathy that appears in stories about visions of the afterlife, as I've already explained. I believe we're all telepathic, and for probably from the same fundamental reason that quantum effects support "spooky action at a distance."-Also, NDE is precisely that: near-death, not actual death. If someone comes back, that indicates that something was there, something was going on. Just because the heart stops or even if we "flatline" for a few moments, doesn't mean that the person actually dies, unless you're talking about some legal definition of death which may be ignoring reality. -The mystical experiences in NDE happen because the human brain is pushed to its extreme limits, which is exactly what is going on in mystical experiences. Nothing "supernatural" is going on at all: it's all natural, i.e. physiologically based. Push the brain to its limits and it can break through and tap normally hidden mental realms. It even happens with psychotropic drugs.
